SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 689,298, dated December1'7, 1901. Applicaticn filed May 22, 1901. Serial No. 61,358. (Nomodel.)

To all 1071 0711 it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MARCUS H. FRIED, a an zen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Pittsbnrg, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Meansfor Attaching En velops for Addressing, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in meansfor attaching envelope foraddressing, and relates more particnlarly toenvelops that are to be addressed by means of a type-writer.

The invention has for its object the provision of novel means whereby aseries of envelops are readily attached together in order that they maybe continuously fed into a type-writer and addressed; furthermore, toprovide means that will allow the envelops to be easily detached afteranumber of themv have been addressed. I

A still further object of the inventionis to pr vide an attachment thatwill be inexpeusive, strong, simple, and durable.

A still further object of the invention is to attach the envelops one toanother in such a manner that a continuous strip is obtained;furthermore, to arrange the attachment in such a manner that the samewill not detract from the appearance of the envelope after the same havebeen severed from one another.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in thenovel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fullydescribed, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to theaccompanying drawings, forminga part of this specification, and whereinlike numerals of reference indi ate corresponding parts throughout theseveral views, in which- Figure 1 is a rear view of a series of envelopshaving my improvements attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a front View of thesame. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional vi the line 3 3 of Fig. 2 lookingin. the direction taken on lower end of saidsecuring-strip is slightlybeveled, as shown at 4, in order to conform with the ends of ti flap 5of the envelop. The securilag-strip. e gummed on one side, half of thesecuriin rip being placed upon oneenvelop and t other half upon the f.es of the other env thereby securing same together, 13h orations being au ranged as to come een or at the jun-ctr: of the two envelope 1 thisway a se envelops are conne together, which. be easily fedinto a c-writer and read severed from one another when desired.

The many advantages obtained by the use of my improved device wiiibereadily parent from the foregoing description, ta. in in connection withthe accompanying draw ings.

Byactnal practice I found l terial saving in the time consumed byemploying my improved means nan ould otherwise he obtained by the commonpraetice of addressing each envelop separately in the type-writer, remving the same, and then placinganother machine to be simiinventic careby .7.
